LASCON.org is a blast. Exciting to see this local Austin conference bigger than ever after COVID lockdowns. Great talks, amazing volunteers, and a really friendly environment. Sponsors are definitely getting their money's worth with a packed expo hall (the nearby cookies help too).
If you weren't able to make my keynote this morning, you can find the presentation online at: https://hdm.io/decks/2024-LASCON-Numerology/
Huge thank you to the @jawncon organizers and volunteers; a really fun conference with a great vibe (and still the coolest badge ever). You can find a recording of my talk (covering wardialing, AOL, internet scanning, and lots of other random things) online at: https://youtu.be/-mkJzOy3P1U?t=8117
